When to Replace Your Garage Door Springs
Do you use your garage door more often than your front door? If you’re like most homeowners, you probably answered yes to this question. Think about how many times you raise and lower your garage door in a day. If you open and close your garage door 4 to 5 times a day, you can expect something to go wrong in between 5 and 10 years, and there’s a good chance your springs will be the first parts to go. Most garage doors operate using one of two types of springs: torsion spring systems and extension spring systems.

Common Signs of a Broken Torsion Spring System broken garage door torsion spring
The following are a several typical signs that you make have a malfunctioning torsion spring system:- Your garage door will be extremely heavy when attempting to manually lift it.
- The door’s top section is dented – this sometimes occurs when the motor from the opener keeps trying to pull the door open after the spring has broken. If the door is too heavy, usually the top of the door will take the brunt of it.
- You see a gap in the spring – Torsion springs are located over the top of the garage door. When the springs break, it leaves a visible gap.
- You hear a loud bang – When a spring breaks it makes an incredibly loud noise.
- The door falls too quickly - If you raise the garage door manually a few feet off the ground, and after releasing the door it quickly falls to the floor, it’s a pretty good warning sign it’s time to replace your springs.

Common Signs of a Broken Extension Spring System
The following are a few common signs that your extension spring system may need repair:
- Door movement is jerky – Extension springs are located on each side of the garage door. When an extension spring breaks, the door is no longer being controlled on the broken side which causes the door to jerk as it opens and closes.
- The door opens and closes crooked – A garage door opening unequally, or crooked, is also common because one side no longer has the proper support.
- Cables hanging down from the door – Broken extension springs may fall out and hang down visibly in your garage.
